-# Release Notes for P4Ruby, Perforce's script API for Ruby
+[![Support](https://img.shields.io/badge/Support-Official-green.svg)](mailto:support@perforce.com)
-Version 2015.2
-## Introduction
-P4Ruby is a native Ruby gem that allows you to run Perforce commands from
-Ruby applications, and retrieve the results in a Ruby-friendly format.
-P4Ruby is intended to work against a corresponding version of the Perforce
-C++ API, e.g., P4Ruby 2015.2 will be compiled using a 2015.2 version
-of the P4API. You can always install P4Ruby specifying a specific version of
-the P4API.
-To determine the version of your P4Ruby, and which version of the
-P4API it has been built with, issue the following command:
-    ruby -rP4 -e "puts P4.identify"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-### Installing P4Ruby
-As of 2014.2, the recommended mechanism for installing P4Ruby is via
-rubygems.org.
-Before installing, please take care that any older version of P4Ruby that
-may have been installed outside of the Gem process is removed from your
-gempath. The older installation process can not be easily removed and may
-conflict with a gem-based install. Make sure that both P4.rb and P4.so (or
-P4.bundle on OS X) are not available within the load path of Ruby. You can
-use the `puts $:` command in `irb` to determine your current load path.
-Outside of Windows, p4ruby gem installs must be compiled locally against
-your installation of Ruby. If you can build the core Ruby distribution
-locally, you likely can install P4Ruby without incident. On Windows,
-precompiled gems are available, which already include the P4API and OpenSSL.
-The main command to install p4ruby is via gem or bundler. (When using the
-default system rubies from OS X or the CentOS Software Collections Library,
-see 'Problems Specifying P4API' below.)
-    gem install p4ruby
-This will download a corresponding version of the p4api from ftp.perforce.com,
-and will automatically include the openssl version you have locally.
-If you have downloaded the p4api and unpacked it, you can specify it using the
-`--with-p4api-dir` option.
-    gem install p4ruby -- --with-p4api-dir=DIR
-In this case, the DIR above is the path to the C++ API distribution that
-should match the major and minor version of P4Ruby. If you omit the
---with-p4api-dir option, the gem will attempt to download a version of the
-API itself from ftp.perforce.com.
-Alternatively, you can use Bundler (http://bundler.io). In your Gemfile,
-specify
-    gem 'p4ruby', '~> 2015.2'
-And then execute:
-    bundle --with-p4api-dir=DIR
-#### Problems Specifying P4API
-On older Ruby platforms, such as the default OS X or ruby193 CentOS
-distributions, issues can arise when specifying the P4API directly via
-the command line.
-In these cases, you may need to indicate the include and lib directories
-directly:
-    gem install p4ruby -- --with-p4api-dir=DIR \
-       --with-p4-api-include=DIR/include \
-       --with-p4-api-lib=DIR/lib
-An alternative is to specify the P4API directory using the `p4api_dir`
-environment variable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-### Building P4Ruby from Source on Linux or OS X
-1. Download the Perforce C++ API from the Perforce FTP site at
-   "ftp://ftp.perforce.com/perforce". The API archive is located
-   in release and platform-specific subdirectories and is named
-   "p4api.tgz".
-   __IMPORTANT__: Mac OS X users MUST use the 'darwin' variant
-   of the Perforce API. Using the 'macos' variant
-   does not work.
-   Note: 32-bit builds of P4Ruby require a 32-bit version of the
-   C++ API and a 32-bit version of Ruby. 64-bit builds of
-   P4Ruby require a 64-bit version of the C++ API and a
-   64-bit version of Ruby.
-   Unzip the archive into an empty directory.
-2. Extract the P4Ruby API archive into a new, empty directory.
-3. In the p4ruby source directory, install dependencies:
-        bundle install
-3. In the p4ruby source directory, build the gem:
-        p4api_dir=<absolute path to Perforce C++ API> rake compile
-4. Test your distribution, which relies on a locally installed p4d.
-        rake test
-    If `p4d` is not available on your path, indicate it via the `P4D_BIN`
-    environment variable before running `rake test`.
-5. Install P4Ruby into your local gem cache:
-    rake install
-#### SSL support
-Perforce Server 2012.1 and later supports SSL connections and the
-C++ API has been compiled with this support. For applications that
-do not requireSSL support the C++ API provides a stub library
-(libp4sslstub.*) to satisfy the linker requirements.
-If the P4Ruby build detects that OpenSSL is available, it will be
-included by default. To disable, execute the gem command using
---without-ssllib. If you want to use libraries deployed to nonstandard
-paths, you will have to alter ext/P4/extconf.rb and include the
-dir_config() directives appropriate for your system.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-### Compatibility Statements
-#### Server Compatibility
-You can use any release of P4Ruby with any release of the
-Perforce server later than 2001.1
-You should use a version of P4Ruby built against a corresponding version
-of the P4API that matches your Perforce server version. Since 2014.2,
-you should try to use the same major and minor variation of P4Ruby as
-used by the Perforce server. Ergo, against Perforce server version 2015.2,
-you would want a P4Ruby version that starts with 2015.2.
-#### API Compatibility
-The 2015.2 release of P4Ruby supports the 2015.2 Perforce API.
-Older releases might work but are not supported.
-#### Ruby Compatibility
-The 2015.2 release of P4Ruby is supported by installing the gem
-with Ruby MRI releases 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2 with shared library
-support.
-For detailed compatibility, please check the following table:
-    Ruby Release | P4Ruby Release
-    ===================================
-         1.6     | up to 2009.2 (unsupported)
-         1.8     | 2007.3 or later (unsupported)
-         1.9     | 2011.1 or later
-         2.0     | 2014.1 or later
-         2.1     | 2014.2 or later
-         2.2     | 2014.2 or later
-It is recommended that you use a Ruby distribution that can deploy
-native gems easily, which, outside of Windows means obtaining a source
-distribution of ruby and building it locally. This is easily done via RVM,
-and can be installed system-wide, with other features (like wrappers) that
-allow you to update the local installation of Ruby as security patches are
-released. If using RVM, be sure to use --disable-binary when installing
-your version of Ruby, to avoid any precompiled distributions that may not
-have shared library support configured, which is needed for Ruby
-extensions.
-In general, Ruby VMs installed via package managers are not officially
-coordinated with the MRI releases available on ruby-lang.org.
-We do verify that p4ruby works with Ruby 1.9 on Debian (and Ubuntu), and
-on CentOS 6 using the Software Collections Library. These are considered
-"stable" distributions, and do receive security updates.
-Other versions of Ruby, such as the default distribution of OS X may not
-work. The default OS X Ruby is infrequently updated by Apple, and is known
-to contain issues that do not seem to be patched.
-#### OpenSSL Compatibility
-To build P4Ruby with encrypted communication support, you must
-use the version of OpenSSL that Perforce C/C++ API has been
-built against.  Running P4Ruby linked to an older library will
-fail with the error:
-    "SSL library must be at least version 1.0.1."
-The 2015.2 release of P4Ruby is supported with OpenSSL 1.0.1
-For detailed compatibility, please check the following table:
-    Perforce C/C++ API Version | OpenSSL Release
-    ============================================
-         2012.1                | 	1.0.0
-         2012.2                | 	1.0.1g+
-         2014.1                | 	1.0.1g+
-         2014.2                | 	1.0.1i+
-         2015.1                | 	1.0.1i+
-         2015.2                | 	1.0.1i+
-#### Platform Compatibility
-Note: As of 2012.1, a universal build of the Perforce C/C++
-API is no longer available for Darwin. P4Ruby is now
-a 64-bit only library on Darwin and must be built with
-a 64-bit version of the Perforce C/C++ API for Darwin.
-This has been tested with a universal build of Ruby and
-is known to work.
-#### Compiler Compatibility
-To build P4Ruby from source, you must use a version of Ruby that
-has been compiled with the same compiler used to build the
-Perforce C++ API: for most platforms, use gcc/g++.
-Attempting to use a different compiler or a different version
-of the compiler causes linker errors due to differences in name
-handling between compilers.
-#### Compatibility with Previous Releases
-Unless otherwise stated below, the 2015.2 release of P4Ruby is
-compatible with previous releases from Perforce Software.
-#### Known Limitations
-The Perforce client-server protocol is not designed to support
-multiple concurrent queries over the same connection. For this
-reason, multi-threaded applications using the C++ API or the
-script APIs (P4Perl, P4Ruby, etc.) should ensure that a
-separate connection is used for each thread or that only one
-thread may use a shared connection at a time.
-## Deleted Methods
-The following methods have been deleted from the `P4` class and
-are no longer available:
-- `output` The output is returned by the `run*` methods
-- `parse_forms` Form parsing is now always on
-- `tagged` See tagged? and tagged= below.
-## Tagged Mode and Form Parsing
-In P4Ruby, both form parsing and tagged output are on by
-default.
-Form parsing cannot be explicitly disabled, but tagged output can
-be turned on and off by setting p4.tagged as follows:
-    p4.tagged = false	# Disabled
-    p4.tagged = true	# Enabled
-Because form parsing does not work when tagged output is disabled,
-this method can be used to disable form parsing if necessary.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-## Change overview
-This document lists all user-visible changes to P4Ruby
-from release 2007.3, the first supported P4Ruby release.
-Perforce numbers releases YYYY.R/CCCCC, e.g. 2002.1/30547.
-YYYY is the year; R is the release of that year; CCCCC is the
-bug fix change level. Each bug fix in these release notes is
-marked by its change number. Any build includes (1) all bug fixes
-of all previous releases and (2) all bug fixes of the current
-release up to the bug fix change level.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-New functionality in 2015.2
-- (SIR#78548 / P4RUBY-193)
-    Release native P4Ruby gems for x86-mingw32 and x64-mingw32.
-    Until this point, the only source gems have been available. These gems
-    will allow Windows users for 32 or 64-bit Ruby 2.0, 2.1 or 2.2 to easily
-    install P4Ruby.
-Changes in both 2015.2.0.pre0 and 2015.1.0
-- Applied change to P4ClientApi::SetCharset, that if it is set to "none", then
-  we will ignore the setting. The P4API enviro file handling seems to always
-  create this setting and apply it in various circumstances.
-Changes in 2015.1.0
-- Updated spec mappings in specmgr.cpp to be up to date with the 2015.1 P4API
-- Allow the P4_BIN environment variable to be set to point to a p4d for the
-  testing library (used by the `rake test` task).
-New functionality in 2014.2
-- (SIR#28879 / P4RUBY-25)
-    Release P4Ruby as Gem. Until this point, the gems available
-    on rubygems.org were unofficial builds, and prone to fail in
-    non-interactive environments like bundler.
-- (SIR#75097 / P4RUBY-169)
-    Add `enviro_file` property to P4 object, which underneath, uses the
-    new `SetEnviroFile`/`GetEnviroFile` mechanism from the 14.2 C++ API.
-Changes in 2014.2.0.pre6
-- Documented workarounds to installation failures on the OS X default Ruby
-  installation.
-Changes in 2014.2.0.pre5
-- Fixed an issue where using the --with-p4api-dir option to gem install
-  would not actually set up the include and lib compilation directory
-  correctly.
-- No longer distributing precompiled builds for linux or OS X due to
-  inadequate information from gem to match the Ruby distribution correctly.
-- No longer embedding the C++ P4API to keep the total file size down to
-  allow the gem to be distributed via RubyGems.org.
-- Changed logic to call p4.charset=nil if charset is already nil or resolves
-  to 'none'. Internally, this will trigger a call to ClientApi::SetTrans(0),
-  which should disable character set autodetection.
-Bugs fixed in 2014.2.0.pre4
-- (BUG#77207 / P4RUBY-176)
-    If the user has specified 'P4CHARSET=none' in a configuration file, or
-    has not set p4.charset='auto' (and it's default value was initialized to
-    'none' by the C++ API), automatically disable character set detection.
-    This can cause the API to break when connecting to non-unicode servers
-    even though it appears to be configured to not be a unicode client.
-- The default C++ API version should be included with the gem source, to
-  avoid calls to ftp.perforce.com.
-Bugs fixed in 2014.2.0.pre3
-- (BUG#75096 / P4RUBY-168)
-    Spec mappings updated to 14.2 definitions.
-- (TASK#76795 / P4RUBY-176)
-    Configuring pre-compiled gems for Linux and OS X, for supported
-    Ruby versions (2.0, 2.1, 2.2).
-Bugs fixed in 2014.2.0.pre2
-- (BUG#76321 / P4RUBY-171)
-    `gem install` fails using source gem distribution inside of a Docker
-    environment due to passive FTP mode not enabled early enough.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-New functionality in 2014.1
-- 807216 (SIR#70070)
-    P4Ruby now supports the P4IGNORE file feature introduced
-    in the 2013.2 server. Three new methods have been added
-    to support this functionality:
-        P4#ignore_file		- Report current file
-        P4#ignore_file=		- Set ignore file
-        P4#ignored?( <file> )	- Test if <file> is
-                      ignored
-- 807216, 750979 (SIR#70093)
-    P4Ruby now supports the Ruby 2.0 series of rubies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Bugs fixed in 2013.1
-- 733921 (Bug#63887)
-    P4Ruby no longer crashes when an exception is raised from
-    the block passed to P4#run_resolve.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-New functionality in 2012.2
-- 525301 (Bug #59803)
-    P4Ruby now supports Apple Mountain Lion (10.8).
-- 509253 (Bug #56480)
-    Added P4#run_tickets() method to list local tickets.
-    Note that P4.run('tickets') still gives the old error
-    message "Must upgrade to 2004.2 p4 to access tickets."
-- 505980 (Bug #56514)
-    Support for the new progress indicator API. P4Ruby
-    supplies a new progress attribute, which can take an
-    instance of P4::Progress class or subclass. Progress
-    information is currently only supported for submits and
-    'sync -q'. Details can be found in the documentation.
-- 499586 (Bug #56520)
-    New convenience method P4#each_<specs>() that allows
-    easy iteration through some or all spec objects such as
-    clients or changes. Details can be found in the documentation.
-Bugs fixed in 2012.2
-- 525097 (Bug #59786)
-    Building P4Ruby with MinGW could generate the link error.
-        g++: unrecognized option '-static-libstdc++'
-    This has been fixed.
-- 505548 (Bug #58649)
-    P4#parse_client could raise the exception "Unknown field name
-    'StreamAtChange'." when parsing a stream client workspace.
-    Internal spec definition has been updated to resolve this.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-New functionality in 2012.1
-- 419591 (Bug #51895)
-    P4Ruby supports SSL connections if compiled with SSL support.
-    Instructions on how to compile with SSL support can be found
-    at the top of this document under "Building P4Ruby from Source"
-    and in the documentation.
-    P4.identify will report the version of the OpenSSL library
-    used to build the Perforce C++ API (not the version P4Ruby
-    is linked against).
-- 415643
-    P4Ruby will now only build a 64-bit version of the library
-    on Darwin.
-- 413362 (Bug #51899)
-    Enable "action resolve" to support resolves of branches,
-    deletes and file types. The existing P4::MergeData class
-    has been extended and the additional attributes will be
-    populated for an 'action resolve'.  Details of the
-    additional attributes can be found in the documentation.
-Bugs fixed in 2012.1
-- 420839 (Bug #52952)
-    Accessing the base_name attribute of a P4::MergeData
-    object resulted in a segmentation fault when resolving
-    binary files.  This has now been fixed and all empty
-    fields will return Nil.
-- 410916, 410702 (Bug #52320)
-    Exceptions thrown during P4.run_resolve are now raised
-    up to the user.  If an exception is encountered during the
-    block's execution, P4Ruby will skip the remaining files.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-New functionality in 2011.1
-- 405913
-    New method P4#messages() returns all messages from the
-    server as objects. Script writers can test the severity
-    of the messages to know if they are output messages (E_INFO),
-    warnings (E_WARN), or errors (E_FAILED/E_FATAL).
-    P4#errors() and P4#warnings still return the errors and
-    warnings as strings for backwards compatibility.
-    P4::Message objects have the following methods:
-    P4::Message#severity	- Returns the severity of the
-                  message, which may be one of the
-                  following values:
-      E_EMPTY	# nothing yet
-      E_INFO	# something good happened
-      E_WARN	# something not good happened
-      E_FAILED	# user did something wrong
-      E_FATAL	# system broken -- nothing can continue
-    P4::Message#generic	- Returns the generic class of
-                  the error, which may be one
-                  of the following values:
-      EV_NONE	# misc
-      EV_USAGE	# request not consistent with dox
-      EV_UNKNOWN	# using unknown entity
-      EV_CONTEXT	# using entity in wrong context
-      EV_ILLEGAL	# trying to do something you can't
-      EV_NOTYET	# something must be corrected first
-      EV_PROTECT	# protections prevented operation
-      EV_EMPTY	# action returned empty results
-      EV_FAULT	# inexplicable program fault
-      EV_CLIENT	# client side program errors
-      EV_ADMIN	# server administrative action required
-      EV_CONFIG	# client configuration inadequate
-      EV_UPGRADE	# client or server too old to interact
-      EV_COMM	# communications error
-      EV_TOOBIG	# not even Perforce can handle this much
-    P4::Message#msgid	- Return the unique ID of the
-                  message.
-    P4::Message#to_s	- Convert the object to a string
-    P4::Message#inspect	- Debugging support
-- 338410 (Bug #47374)
-    P4Ruby supports setting values in the registry (on those
-    platforms that support it).
-    The command P4#set_env( var, val ) will set a registry
-    variable on platforms that support this action or raise
-    a P4Exception for those that don't.
-    The command P4#set_env( var, "" ) unsets a registry variable.
-- 333292 (Bug #36121)
-    P4Ruby now supports Ruby 1.9
-- 331384
-    P4Ruby can now be compiled with the Mingw compiler using
-    the MinGW P4Api build.
-- 328203 (Bug #45861)
-    Enable streams in P4Ruby by default. With this change,
-    streams specific specs such as streams depots are listed.
-    Disable the listing of streams specific specs by either
-    setting the api_level to a value below 70 or by disabling
-    stream handling explicitly through the P4.streams attribute:
-          p4.streams = false
-- 322353 (Bug #42250)
-    P4Ruby supports a callback interface by providing a
-    P4#handler attribute. Set P4#handler to an instance of a
-    subclass of P4::OutputHandler to enable callbacks.
-    When a handler is defined, P4Ruby will invoke the handler
-    for every response it receives from the Perforce Server
-    immediately instead of collecting all results together in
-    an array first. This can be used to make applications more
-    scalable and more responsive if large results are expected.
-    See the documentation for details on the OutputHandler class.
-Bugs fixed in 2011.1
-- 405913 (Bug #43426)
-    Running 'print' on a file that started with '---' would
-    cause an exception in Ruby. This is now fixed.
-    There is still an oddity when p4.track = 1 and a user runs
-    p4.run_print() on a file that only has lines starting with
-    '--- '. In that case, the output of the print is lost.
-    Disable tracking by setting p4.track = 0 (the default) will
-    solve this problem.
-- 405913 (Bug #41350)
-    Info messages now shown in P4#Messages.
-- 385159 (Bug #49324)
-    On Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 2008, a client running as
-    Administrator would fail to properly process file names in
-    non-ASCII character sets (such as Shift-JIS).

-    P4#identify() reports the platform on AMD64 as X86_64
-    in line with all other Perforce products.
-- 332453
-    Updated the stored spec templates for client, change, group,
-    spec and user.  Added spec template for new spec type
-    streams. These are required, for example, for form-triggers
-    that do not connect to the server first.
-- 329351 (Bug #41271)
-    Include 'extraTag' fields in P4::Spec objects
-- 328578 (Bug #39264)
-    P4#identify() now reports P4Ruby as P4RUBY in line with all

-New functionality in 2010.2
-- 260859
-    Added new SetTrack() and GetTrack() methods.

-- 255945, 255949, 269012
-    New method P4#messages() returns all messages from the
-    server as objects. Script writers can test the severity
-    of the messages to know if they are output messages (E_INFO),
-    warnings (E_WARN), or errors (E_FAILED/E_FATAL).
-    P4#errors() and P4#warnings still return the errors and
-    warnings as strings for backwards compatibility.
-    P4::Message objects have the following methods:
-    `P4::Message#severity`	- Returns the severity of the
-      message, which may be one of the
-      following values:
-          E_EMPTY	# nothing yet
-          E_INFO	# something good happened
-          E_WARN	# something not good happened
-          E_FAILED	# user did something wrong
-          E_FATAL	# system broken -- nothing can continue
-    `P4::Message#generic`	- Returns the generic class of
-      the error, which may be one
-      of the following values:
-          EV_NONE	# misc
-          EV_USAGE	# request not consistent with dox
-          EV_UNKNOWN	# using unknown entity
-          EV_CONTEXT	# using entity in wrong context
-          EV_ILLEGAL	# trying to do something you can't
-          EV_NOTYET	# something must be corrected first
-          EV_PROTECT	# protections prevented operation
-          EV_EMPTY	# action returned empty results
-          EV_FAULT	# inexplicable program fault
-          EV_CLIENT	# client side program errors
-          EV_ADMIN	# server administrative action required
-          EV_CONFIG	# client configuration inadequate
-          EV_UPGRADE	# client or server too old to interact
-          EV_COMM	# communications error
-          EV_TOOBIG	# not even Perforce can handle this much
-    `P4::Message#msgid`	- Return the unique ID of the message.
-    `P4::Message#to_s`	- Convert the object to a string
-    `P4::Message#inspect`	- Debugging support
-Bugs fixed in 2010.2
-- 287185 (Bug #43426)
-    Running 'print' on a file that started with '---' would
-    cause an exception in Ruby. This is now fixed.
-    There is still an oddity when p4.track = 1 and a user runs
-    p4.run_print() on a file that only has lines starting with
-    '--- '. In that case, the output of the print is lost.
-    Disable tracking by setting p4.track = 0 (the default) will
-    solve this problem.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-New functionality in 2010.1
-- 232984
-     Removed old Ruby 1.6 compatibility code that was no longer
-     required. This paves the way for Ruby 1.9 compatibility.
-- 230644
-     It's now unnecessary to run a command before calling the
-     following methods:
-           P4#server_level
-           P4#server_case_sensitive?
-           P4#server_unicode?
-     If no command has been run, P4Ruby will automatically run a
-     'p4 info' in order to gather the required information.
-- 230191
-     Added new P4#server_unicode? method that allows script
-     writers to test whether or not a Perforce Server is in
-     internationalized (unicode) mode. At least one Perforce
-     command must have been executed against the server before
-     this method can be called.
-- 230190
-     Added new P4::VERSION, P4::OS, and P4::PATCHLEVEL constants
-     so that script writers can test the installation of P4Ruby
-     without having to parse the output of P4::Identify()
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-New functionality in 2009.2
-- 214454 (Bug #32916)
-    P4#port= now raises a P4Exception if called after P4#connect().
-- 214449 (Bug #35416)
-    Added a P4#server_case_sensitive? method that enables scripts
-    to detect whether the server is case-sensitive. Cannot be
-    called until a command has been issued to the server.
-Bugs fixed in 2009.2
-- 214445,214999 (Bug #35410)
-    P4Ruby now correctly tracks disconnects from the server.
-- 222727 (Bug #36568)
-    The Map class removed '-' and '+' from the path if the
-    form Map.insert(lhs, rhs) was used, even if these characters
-    did not appear at the beginning of the path.
-    Now dashes and pluses are preserved within the path.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-New functionality in 2009.1
-- 191900 (Bug #26729)
-    A new method:
-        P4#tagged( aBool ) { block }
-    has been added to the P4 class. This method temporarily
-    toggles the use of tagged output for the duration of
-    the block and resets it when the block terminates.
-Bugs fixed in 2009.1
-- 191889 (Bug #29911)
-    Calling P4#run_resolve() or P4#run( 'resolve' ) without
-    a block or a previous call to P4#input no longer causes an
-    infinite loop.
-- 191623,191627 (Bug #32918)
-    P4Ruby now correctly parses jobs when the jobspec contains
-    field names ending in numbers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-New functionality in 2008.2
-- 162422 (Bug #30364), 166158
-    A new class, P4::Map, enables users to
-    create and use Perforce mappings without requiring
-    a connection to a server. Methods in the P4::Map class are:
-        P4::Map.new	    Constructor
-        P4::Map.join	    Join two maps to create a third
-        P4::Map#clear	    Empty a map
-        P4::Map#count	    Return the number of entries
-        P4::Map#empty?	    Tests whether a map object is empty
-        P4::Map#insert	    Inserts an entry into the map
-        P4::Map#translate   Translate a string through a map
-        P4::Map#includes?   Tests whether a path is mapped
-        P4::Map#reverse	    Swap left and right sides of the mapping
-        P4::Map#lhs	    Returns the left side as an array
-        P4::Map#rhs	    Returns the right side as an array
-        P4::Map#to_a	    Returns the map as an array
-Bugs fixed in 2008.2
-- 169159 (Bug #29935, Bug #31096), 165338
-    P4Ruby now correctly loads the value of P4CHARSET from the
-    environment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-New functionality in 2008.1
-- 152356 (Bug #29022)
-    A new method 'P4#env( var )' method has been added to
-    the P4 class. This instance method enables the caller
-    to interrogate the Perforce environment, including
-    reading Perforce variables from P4CONFIG files and,
-    on Windows, the registry. P4#cwd= now loads any
-    P4CONFIG file settings that are appropriate to the
-    new working directory.
-- 153005 (Bug #29308)
-    P4Ruby now supports Mac OS X 10.5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Bugs fixed in 2007.3
-- 151167 (Bug #28774)
-    The Makefile generated on some Linux platforms (notably
-    Ubuntu 7.10) was not correct, and attempted to link P4Ruby
-    using 'cc' instead of 'c++', causing an 'undefined symbol'
-    error (typically '_ZTVN10__cxxabiv120__si_class_type_infoE') ,
-    when attempting to use P4Ruby. This problem has been corrected.
-- 150577 (Bug #28704)
-    The presence of deleted revisions in a file's history
-    might lead to incorrect fileSize and digest
-    attributes for other revisions in the output of
-    P4#run_filelog. This problem has been corrected.
-- 150576 (Bug #28773)
-    P4::Revision#filesize() always returned nil. This
-    problem has been corrected.
